Goal(s): To provide support and assistance to Kojain women in need.

Membership/Organization: Chairperson, board members, Medical, Legal, Financial, and Counseling professionals. This will be formed as an informal organization divided by region.

The rational to have such committee is simple. Very often when woman is going through some crisis, she finds herself alone. The disheartenment of finding herself alone, itself act as a deterrent in not seeking help. She may not want her family involved or be aware of it for several reasons, friends may shy away or may not have correct resources to guide her At such times this committee can step in and help her in non-judgmental, non-partisan way.  The committee may provide information related to Medical, legal, financial counseling and emotional issues.

Methods:  Establish a list of volunteer Professional in above fields in each region. (Regional directors could assist in obtaining names of professionals).  Also list local women’s organizations where one can get guidance. Communicate existence of such cmt. thru’ our newsletter and web site. Chairperson shall keep list of all professional volunteers and update it periodically.

Near-time Objectives:  Establish a list of volunteers, and communicate to Kojain members.
